Rome wasn't built in a day--and you'll need much more than a day to take in this timeless city. The city is a real-life collage of piazzas, open-air markets, and astonishing historic sites. Toss a coin into the Trevi Fountain, contemplate the Colosseum and the Pantheon, and sample a perfect espresso or gelato before spending an afternoon shopping at the Campo de’Fiori or Via Veneto. Enjoy some of the most memorable meals of your life here, too, from fresh pasta to succulent fried artichokes or a tender oxtail stew.

Very historical church on the Aventino Hill. It is located in a quiet area, far away from the City Centre. That allows you to concentrate and stay calm far away from tourists. Check on the characteristic signage on the marble floor. Very old and original representing the Dominicans and its church.
2. San Giovanni Battista dei Fiorentini

This Baroque masterpiece created by the best of Italian architects and sculptures is so close to the Ponte Sant’Angelo and yet missed by many. You will never find crowds inside and amazing Baroque masterpieces will be all yours to enjoy. The facade created by Giacomo della Porta is a shining example of Baroque elegance. The spacious nave with white columns on both sides lead you to stunning altar designed by Pietro da Cortona. The chapels are gorgeous as well, especially the Falconieri Chapel with the tomb of Cardinal Falconieri designed by Francesco Borromini and completed by Pietro da Cortona. Francesco Borromini’s is buried under the dome.
